[Sunhelp] E6000 upgrade or new system?(CAPACITY PLANNING)

[Richard Hogg]

Faster CPUs can be used in E6K, but you will probably need the 5:1 ratio
clockboard or they will just run at 336.

Solaris Performance Administration, by H. Frank Cervone.

ISBN:  0-07-011768-3

An excellent book on capacity planning, Sparc's, and Solaris.  I'm currently
reading it.

BTW, you can run faster processors on E6k's, IIRC.  Although I may be
mistaken, I believe remember reading they can run 400's.
